A GREAT many remedies to temporarily relieve catarrh have been devised from time to time, such as sprays, snuh's, creams and other local applications, but, as a rule, the medical profession has little or i. **' . no enmosidsm m uie ireuumut ui i?wnu. It is generally pronounced by them to be incurable. It therefore created a great sensation in medical circles when l)r. Ilartman announced that he had devised a compound which would cure catarrh permanently. The remedy was named Peruna. and in a short time became known to thousands of catarrh sufferers north, south, east and west. Letters testifying to the fact that Peruna is a radical cure for catarrh began to pcur in from all directions. Thousands of such letters arc on file in the office of The Peruna Medicino Co. Rev. E. Stubenvoll, Pella, Wis., writes: "I feel obliged to extend you my personal thanks for my complete restoration. All through the winter I suffered from throat and lung trouble, but recovered ray entire health by the use of your excellent remedy. Peruna." The following letter from a prominent gentleman of Los Angeles is a case in point: Mr, J. W. Fuller, President of the .Tew.elers' Association cf Los Angeles.

Slang among college men, slang among street gamins and slang in society ha% been referred to and the terms quoted in public print, but there are slang terms at the Naval Academy at Annapolis which have not yet, and probably never will, become common property. However, the dignity of the future admirals of the navy will not permit of it being called "slang;" therefore it must be Known only as "Annapolis localisms." Here are a few of t.he "localisms" cf the "middies." ? The "yacht" is the training ship employed for summer cruises and for winter drills; the "brig" is that part of the berth deck where the "plebes" are sent for light punishment, such as for smoking, drinking, spitting on the floor or deck, taking "French leave," "playing a little quiet game" and getting caught at it, etc. Each ship in commission also has a "brig," to which only the sailors to be punished may be sent, the officers being confined to their rooms when under punishment. To "shake a leg" means "to trot n rnovo nn " tn hurrv To ho "r>ro jccted" cr "hung on the Christines tree" Is to be posted for low mark; "sat" and "unset" are short for satisfactory and unsatisfactory; "skinny" means chemistry; "sup" Is nice, "Holy Joo" refers to the captain, and "holystoning" the decks applies to the use of a big block of sandstone, with a ropo or toggle at each end, by which it is hauled back and forth to scrub the decks white on every Sunday morning, or when the President of the United States or some high crucial is expected to visit the ship; "grub" signifies food and regular meals; "salt horse" is the designating term for salt beef; ''plumduff" means a sort of rolypolv pudding, a mixture of dough, without shortening, and through which, if one wants to stop to investigate, may be found here and there a raisin; "spuds" means po tatoe; "tag ends" is the name of a book of jokes published at the Naval Academy a few years ago; "binnacle list" is the list of sick made out by the surgeon each morning after lie has inspected and examined the tongues and pulses of those who complain of a pain in the back, sick headache cr a touch of malaria. That it is best to be careful and discreet in the use of "Annapolis localIsms" when in public is chown by an instance of a midshipman who received leave for a few days some time ago. Stopping at a restaurant, the voting officer said to the waitress who appeared at his table that he would have some "spuds" with his ham and ?ggs, ai d when she hesitated to catch ihe meanJng of the latter part of the irder he sputtered out: "Come now; ;.hake a leg."

I QUOY'S DRAGON: J ! $ ..IN.. ^ i PELL STREET. 1 ( f Tiiis Chinaman lived on the top floor of a house in Pell street. He had one room there all to himself?a remarkable luxury in this particular tenement, dignifying him beyond al the yellow faced denizens of that crowded warren. Front his grimy window that had never been cleaned since the house had been built he could look across a sooty bristle of chimney pots and a frayed tangle of clothes lines to the tall buildings cf the Bowery. From the narrow street below ho could hear the gabble of his blue bloused countrymen, rising gutturally tr\ him tVio vo??tVtr?r rwrnittpfl an open window. All day they lounged down there, in doorways, puffing their long bamboo pipes and chattering, or dodging in and out of the untidy shops whose back rooms reeked with the sweet smell of opium smoke. At night they were likely to have other amusements?he could see the lights across the street then in. Jim Quong's place, where he knew they wtsre slapping down long, black backed fan tan cards in the midst of a heavily breathing crowd of men. Sometimes there was a sick man at the Joss house for treatment, and the bong banged and shivered interestingly in his ears. At other times the patrol wagon came amid much uproar, and the street filled at once .with chattering Chinese and frightened sightseers and beetlebrowed whites from the Bowery. There was always something for Qucy to look a: from his top floor window. Ho could not go down stairs because he was a very sick man witfi several diseases, the surest being consumption. A Cantonese?a fellow -townsman of his?brought him liis food and opium for a certain consideration, and burned sticks in the Joss house for him now and then. But he could never find Quoy's money, even when he crept in after the old man's pipe had rolled out of his hand, and one could see only the whites of his ejos. The only thing beside Quoy who knew where the money was hidden was the dragon. No one ever saw the dragon except Quoy, and be only at certain times. His father had been acquainted with it?it would seem?in Canton; it was such a family institution that Quoy's solitary, whole-room grandeur would ha.ve been too lonely without it. Quoy himself had first known it across the Black Water at home. It had followed him to America and he was touched, when he thought of it, at its devotion ! in a strange land. The split matting ! he lay on might grow more and more ragged; the little jade snuff bottle might break and the odd far-traveled Lares and Penates might fall to pieces, but the- dragon was always the same. So long as he bent the black smoke pipe with the lotus mcu-h-piece, and the small can of opium, and the peanut oil lamp at hand, the dragon would come and keep him company. Every night when he was tired of his window and felt a little lonely he he would light the peanut oil lamp beside tbc mat and cock one fat, bubbling pill of opium after the other on his needle and smoke slowly. The occasional time-killing pipes of the day no more kept the pains out of his lungs, and it was the evening's smoking that was the day's event. When the air was close and sweet . smelling from successive pip?s and the small ramp flame grew misty, then at last, out from behind the battered grimy screen across the room, Quoy's dragon would come crawling little by little into view, through the floating smoke streaks and dusk, with his pink and burnished scales rasping, actually, on the rough floor. When he was all In view, his bulk seemed out of all proportion to his screen hiding place. His great head, with its horns and long teeth and the saffron beard from its chin, was very near the little lamp between the two big fcurpaws. Behind, the scaled back and the folded wings, ar.d long, silky tail blended with the smoke streaks and darkness. So, -very sociably', it would settle down on one side of the lamp while Quoy, on the other, rolled his pills and looked sleepily into its big red eyes, and talked to it about Canton contentedly. At the dragon had known his father and Canton city from the Wall Pagoda to the Flower Boats, Quoy, in isolation and solitude from his fellows, was never positively lonely. One night, nearly 20 hours after the dragon had gone, Quoy woke up from a long dream a very sick man indeevl. The several diseases and the Black Smoke had pretty nearly finished him, and for once the pipe was almost too far away for hira to roach. When his fellow townsman came in presently and chased the shadows off the mat by lighting the peanut oil lamp, Quoy fixed hi.m with his eye and said: "Go to the missionary man tonight and tell him to come here. Tell him that I shall want him to take my - 1 j money and imy me a coma ana senu me back in it to China/' His friend sat down on his heels and peered prospectively into the opium can. "I would dc that as well as the missionary man," he said solemnly and plainly. Quov's face cracked in a ghost of a smile. "No," he said. "I would not put a shadow on my friends', conscience. Bring him here quickly or no one will ever find it." The friend got up silently and went out. Quoy managed to pick up pipe and needle and 'o light the lamp. He smoked his make-up pipe fehely. Once he stopped and said, half aloud (which showed that he was not himself): "Many hide money in matting and clothes and screens, but who would hide it in the queue en his head?" A little noise startled him and he looked up to see his fellow townsman grinning in at the door. The man came in and deliberately unwound Quoy's rusty queue, while Quoy dragged at his hands furiously, but too weakly. When he found the tight roll of bills he laughed and jumped back, while Quoy jabbered fiercely at 1 im and then coughed himself to pieces. By a foolish word ho had thrown away his hope of hing in sacred ground outside the Canton walls, something he bad looked for ward to Witt grim Celestial comfort for years. Now his neighbor had found the money after many searches, and finally Jim Quong would got it. The man was moving toward tho door when there was a rustle among the shadows behind the torn screen. He stopped, and he and Quoy held their breath. The peanut oil lamp and the trickle of street light from the window hardly lighted the room, but there was something scraping out from the screen toward the door slowly, with the thud, thud of great paws cud the dragging of a mighty tail. Now it was before the doorway! The police came loaning up the tracking the wild shrieks, to the tenement's top floor. As they reached Quov's door the last one died away inside. They found Quoy on his mats, his long*nails drumming happily on his pipe and his breath whistly. Scattered about the room were unpleasant relics of his Canton neighbor that made oven the police shiver. That was a'l there was?Quoy, the relics and some ripped up screens and matting. "Under the slice," said Quoy placidly to Jim Quong, who had mounted with the rc.et, "is the roll of my money. The man tried to steal It. It Is to send me back to Canton in a carved coffin." Jim Quong was a Tong man, but the look of the room was on his nerves in srite of that. "Who did it?" he asked between two shivers, while the police stepped back, lifting their boots. Quoy smiled and dug his needle feebly into the opium pot. But before he could cook the pill something stopped him, and they never found out.?New York Evening Sun. OLD AFRICAN GOLD MINES. Evidences cf Extensive Operations Carried on Many Years Ago. Rhodesia, or British Zanibesia, ranks among the chief gold-bearing countries of the world. The ancients mined and carried away enormous quantities of the precious metal, but under the scientific mining systems of the present day their operations will be greatly surpassed. In the recently published work on the "Ancient Ruins of Rhodesia," the authors, Messrs. Hall and Neal, endeavor to discover who the ancients were and whither the gold went. Perhaps Rhodesia was the ancient land of Ophir, the land of the mysterious "King Solomon's mines," but the theory is strongly combated by some investigators. The ancient gold workings are the basis of modern workings. For every ten square miles of Rhodesia there was one ancient mine, that is, there are 75,000 old holes, which means that a stupendous wealth was dug out of the earth before the days of Cecil Rhodes. Much of this wealth must have gone to the north and south it was probably wrought into the crown of the Queen of Sheba and filled the coffers of Solomon. The ancient smelting furnaces are still easy to recognize. They are sunk into the floor. The furnace blowpipes are made of the finest granite-powder cement, and the nozzles of the blowpipes are covered with splashes of gold. The linings of the holes are covered 1?

One can take an old lining, split off the layers with a knife and find gold splaches in abundance. Apparently the ancients wasted gold lavishly. Gold has keen found in large quantities in the form of pellets as large as buckshot in the vicinity of the furnaces, and also thrown away on the debris heaps outside of the old buildings. The tools of the ancient workers which have so far been discovered include a small soapstone hammer and burnishing stones of water-worn rock, to which gold still adheres. There are evidences that the ancients carried on an extensive industry in the manufacture of gold ornaments and utensils. Thirty-five thousand dollars' worth of gold ornaments have been taken in the last five years from the ruins of Matabeleland alone.? Youth's Companion. i PEARLS OF THOUGHT. A short absence quickens love, a long absence kills it. Waste of time is the most extravagant and costly of all expenses. . The earnestness of life is the only passport to the satisfaction of life. There is no greater disaster in love than the death of the imagination. The most cowardly lone wolf is the bravest when he has a pack at his back. Originality largely consists in seeing things as they are and telling the truth about them. There is no joy like the joy of real virtue, and no music like the music of a good conscience. . When there is love in the heart there are rainbows in the eyes wnich oover every black cloud with gorgeous hues. Before we passionately desire anything which another enjoys we should examine into the nappiness of its possessor. The grandest warrior is be who fights against and conquers the petty passions which would compromise his dignity as a reasonable being. A selfish heart never understands the pain that others feel in giving necessary pain, nor can such a heart see things from others' point of view. Common sense, thrift, indomitable pluck, great good nature, devotion to friends, frankness, generosity?these are things that people like in a man uaooage i-ieia nero.

I then laid myself fiat on the ground to listen, as it was very dark. But I suddenly fancied I could see the enemy in front ol me kneeling.

Broken Down by an Ice Storm, It is in Its Oldtlmc Beauty. Every passing storm seemed to wreak its vengeance on the big elm tree that grew by the roadside. One late winter morning we awoke to find the world transformed by ice on every tree and bush. In wonder and amazement we looked abroad. Eut in front of us the elm tree lay a shapeless mass, broken and splintered by the weight of ice. Already ihc tree had been endeared to us by its many hardships, in which all the family had sympathized. The tree must not perish now. With ropes and pulleys the great limbs, some of them now several Inches In diameter, were drawn back to their places; for every one of them still clung to the parent stock by a strip of bark and wocd at its base. Iron bolts were made from half inch rod*. long enough to reach through branch and stock just above the 3plit. With loDg augur, half inch noies were Doreu cnrcugn me tree mc bolts driven in tight and then ,drawn up by means of a nut and thread. A large head and washer, and another washer under the nut at the ether end, prevented the ends of the bol.t from drawing into the wood. So tightly was the branch drawn to the trunk that no gaping crack was left, and the crease was heremetically sealed with melted wax. Then higher up, between brancher two or three feet apart, other rods were run to hold all the members in place. We knew that if the bolts fitted tightly in their holes no harm would come to the tree; but that if bands were placed about the branches they would soon crease and girdle the parts and work much harm. When the storm had passed the dear tree stood in its customary mood, and all the following summer it grew as if with renewed determination.?Country Life in America.
